Research found that the traditional Japanese diet was associated with less brain shrinkage in women compared to the Western diet. ― ETX Studio picTOKYO, April 17 ― Research suggests that a diet of traditional Japanese foods like green tea, seaweed and fish may help prevent brain shrinkage with age, a common marker of cognitive decline and dementia.
It's no secret that Japan ― and in particular Okinawa, located in the south of the country, not far from Taiwan ― is known for its centenarians. In fact, the idyllic Japanese archipelago is home to a large number of seniors who have passed the 100-year mark. Apart from their state of mind and active lifestyle, as detailed by Japan Airlines, their diet is also thought to contribute to their longevity.
And that's a good thing, because research suggests that these eating habits may help prevent age-associated brain shrinkage, especially in women. In older people, this kind of brain shrinkage may lead to cognitive decline and dementia.
